How do we know they were active?
To me, calling to check in is not being active. Making offers, negotiating, or getting outbid is being active.
Not dumping on you, just sharing my thoughts.
Here’s why I was willing to trade a 1st and possibly more for a WR1. This upcoming draft doesn’t seem to be WR heavy. We also swing and miss at our last WR in the draft. Samuel hasn’t worked out and Palmer seems to be just a speed guy, not so much a route/speed/boundary guy
So, to me, to get a proven guy with a cheap contract for the next year or two, knowing Samuel/Knox’s contracts will be less by the time comes to resign the new receiver, it was a no brainer.
We don’t have anyone that draws a double team or makes a defense afraid at receiver. We need that in crucial situations, if only just to free up someone else to make a play.
Also, if not now, then when l?
